Third-party lifecycle management for Argentina operations
Last updated: August 19, 2026
Verdana is a third-party lifecycle management platform built for global companies with suppliers, contractors, or a subsidiary in Argentina, where third-party exposure runs through two separate legal fronts — both of which demand documentary proof.
Law 27.401 on corporate criminal liability reaches a company for offenses committed through intermediaries acting on its behalf, and treats an adequate integrity program — which expressly includes due diligence on third parties — as a relevant mitigating element. On the labor side, Article 30 of the Employment Contract Law obliges a principal to verify its contractors' labor and social security compliance and to retain the supporting records. Verdana runs both: documented due diligence and screening at onboarding, then monthly collection and verification of each contractor's payroll, social security, and workers'-compensation documentation.
The operational mechanism is suspension, not reminder: when a contractor's monthly documentation is incomplete, the platform suspends their authorization — including site access — until the record is current again. Mandatory trainings, conflict-of-interest declarations, and code-of-conduct acceptances run through the same channel, each with a record of who accepted and when. When an inspection or labor claim arrives, the company exports its record instead of reconstructing it.
Argentina sits alongside the rest of Latin America, the United States, and Europe in the same platform: the local team and suppliers work in Spanish, and headquarters gets one consolidated, English-language view.
Frequently asked questions
Are we liable for our contractors' labor obligations in Argentina?
Article 30 of the Employment Contract Law requires a principal that outsources work belonging to its normal activity to verify the contractor's labor and social security compliance and keep the records — with joint liability exposure when that verification is missing. The verification is monthly and per worker, which is why it fails as a manual process.
Does Argentina's Law 27.401 require due diligence on third parties?
The law makes companies criminally liable for offenses committed on their behalf, including through intermediaries, and expressly names third-party due diligence as part of an adequate integrity program — the element that can mitigate or shape liability when something happens.
Can our Argentine suppliers use the platform in Spanish?
Yes — suppliers and contractors in Argentina use a Spanish-language portal designed for the way they actually work, including mobile document upload, while headquarters sees consolidated status in English.
